New Living Translation
1 Chronicles 10:4-10
4Saul groaned to his armor bearer, “Take your sword and kill me before these pagan Philistines come to taunt and torture me.” But his armor bearer was afraid and would not do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5When his armor bearer realized that Saul was dead, he fell on his own sword and died.
6So Saul and his three sons died there together, bringing his dynasty to an end.
7When all the Israelites in the Jezreel Valley saw that their army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and fled. So the Philistines moved in and occupied their towns.
8The next day, when the Philistines went out to strip the dead, they found the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
9So they stripped off Saul’s armor and cut off his head. Then they proclaimed the good news of Saul’s death before their idols and to the people throughout the land of Philistia.
10They placed his armor in the temple of their gods, and they fastened his head to the temple of Dagon.
